Everyone knows that Joe Morgan is the dumbest baseball announcer alive, and Ozzie Guillen is the craziest sonofabitch in Illinois, neither a small feat when you take into account Tim McCarver's existence or the presence of the nation's first supermax prison in Marion. And last night they went toe-to-toe. Idiocy versus insanity, WHO YA GOT?

[Guillen] didn’t take kindly to ESPN broadcaster Joe Morgan questioning the fact that Guillen told reporters on Saturday that he felt Ivan Rodriguez, not Roberto Clemente, was the greatest player to come out of Puerto Rico. Morgan told Guillen he was "crazy," starting a series of "FU's" from Guillen.

What Morgan didn’t know was Guillen is a huge collector of Clemente memorabilia, as well as gave his son, Oney, the middle name of Roberto. [Gahhh! That syntax is fucking awful. -Ed.]

Well let's see here. On one hand, nothing gives me greater pleasure than someone saying FUCK YOU to Joe Morgan's face. On the other hand, for once in his life, Morgan is right: Ozzie Guillen really is crazy.

Who wins? I dunno, I'm too bothered by the nature of the conversation. Why do we have to make it only about Puerto Rican players? That does nothing to promote racial unity and harmony. Can't we all just agree to hate the Jews and move on?

I didn't like the fact that he felt that he said that he took issue with him saying that this post was all modifiers/no subject.

There must have been a fire sale on prepositions somewhere.

I'm confused – Guillen was upset at Morgan because Morgan called him crazy in regards to Guillen's statement that, despite being a huge Clemente fan, Guillen felt that Rodriguez, not Clemente, was the best thing to come out of Puerto Rico?

Guille's favorite player is Clemente but he believes that Rodriguez and Alomar are better players. Morgan thought he was an idiot for saying that Clemente was only the 3rd best PR player ever. Guillen told Morgan to fuck off.

I'm sorry in advance for doing this, but did anyone notice how skinny I-Rod looked? Little chicken legs; that guy seriously deflated. Someone needs to take a shit on Joe Morgan's hea……… Nevermind.

Whoever wrote that newsbit obviously didn't listen two minutes longer because Joe Morgan did, in fact, explain that Ozzie is a huge collector of Clemente memorabilia.

Only idiots would argue about Puerto Ricans. They aren't even real people.

Has a black man ever worn the Rollie Fingers Mustasch? I think it's due time Joe M. breaks ground on that one.

Isn't Captain Morgan from Puerto Rico?

Even the Jews hate the Jews. Everyone can agree on this one! YAY!!!!!!

ps–He's called Pudge, not I-Rod. You're called vagina.

Point being dickface… He's not pudgy anymore. Fuck, learn to read.

This is nothing… You should have heard all of Guillen's F bombs when Joe Morgan said that Miller Lite is "Less Filling".

What they said can't be racist, neither of them are white.

Jorge Posada is better than both of those other Porch Ricans as we refer to them round these parts

Now that this post has been mercifully rewritten, I'd like to rescind my first comment. I'd also like to say '"hallo" to Cock Flashy, as I just wrapped the superb Flashman and the Redskins, my sixth (non-sequential) foray into Flashy's ribald world.

@Prison Mike: I'm thrilled that someone understands that "Cock Flashy" is not some obscure reference to dick, which predominates here. And yes, all Flashman books are the absolute tits. I'm jealous that you still have six more to enjoy for the first time; I've read all of them countless times and can virtually recite them from memory by now. Enjoy!

PS: You probably heard that Fraser recently died, so there will be no more installments….

Yes, too sad about Fraser. I'm well aware of a finish line now.

I'm a bit down on the next one I've cracked — Flashman's Lady. The plot is wonderful and all, but the supposed "cleansing" of curse words still irritates me 60 pages in.

True, it's annoying, but it stops after a ways when Grizel decides to "stop editing". Also, that volume is one of the best, the rugby part is phenomenal.
